Time Magazine’s “Women Who Are Changing The World”

Time magazine has released an impressive list recognizing women who have had a huge impact on the world. This isn’t just any “list”, however. This is an honorary recognition of women who have worked their way into becoming “firsts” in their respective careers. Women who have broken gender, sexual orientation, and cultural barriers of all sorts. These incredible women represent a myriad of achievements in the fields of art, entertainment, business, politics, athletics, and sciences. They are celebrated not as overcomers of adversity, but ambitious influencers that have proven that life is limitless.
